Georg Merkel (1881, Lemberg - 1976, Vienna) came from a very poor family. He attended secondary school and then worked as a decorative painter. Thanks to the support of a friend, Merkel was able to study painting at the Polish Academy for Arts and Sciences in Krakow from 1903 through 1905 under Josef Mehoffer and Julian Falat. Except for a brief period around 1908/9, he spent the years of 1906 to 1914 in Paris, where he discovered the artistic output of not only the “Classicists” like Nico (showing 500 of 2208 characters).
